Who's going to lower their 720p dlp machine prices to under a 1000 dollars. I think there is plenty demand for a good darkchip 2 machine/no white segment in that price range.

yocozuna55,

I think the manafacturers look at the sub 1K segment as a TV replacement rather than a true HT market. For this, you need lumens. Thus the white segment.

I was amazed at how flat I could get my greyscale with my HD1000, which is a white segment DLP.

The new HD73 seems to lead the pack here for colour purity ( DC3 / RGBRGB wheel ) and affordability ( 1999 MSRP ). If it is successful, I'm sure there will be more.
